I especially like the double_x on the URL; it certainly suits this Benedikt Arnold's attitude toward our country well. Also notice that later in the article the harpy suggests throwing more money at America's government brainwashing centers as an alternative. Hey, it worked well for Amtrak!

If the liberals are that pissed off about it, you know it must be good.

“So, how would this work exactly? Its simple! Everyone needs to be invested in our public schools in order for them to get better.”
I have a simpler idea: get rid of the teachers union!

As a single father, I sent all four of my kids thru private school and college. They’re now adults and better off for it.

“it seems to me that if every single parent sent every single child to public school, public schools would improve. This would not happen immediately. It could take generations. Your children and grandchildren might get mediocre educations in the meantime, but it will be worth it, for the eventual common good.”
It seems to me a total stranger wanting me to sacrifice opportunities for my generations to come is worth ignoring. Advantage: my offspring.

When leftist elite leaders (Obamas, Kennedys, Pelosis, Bloombergs, Bidens, Emmanuels, Clintons, hollywood stars, etc.) start sending their children and grandchildren exclusively to public schools, including state universities instead of Ivy League institutions, I’ll reconsider my perspective on public schools.

Hypocrites like the Clintons and the Obamas, and actors like Matt Damon, any Demoncrat with money, yeah, they all talk this talk.
But public schools aren’t good enough for their kids. Good enough for our kids, but not theirs, just as armed guards don’t belong in public schools, blah blah blah.
They can KMA.

So, Slate is not happy with Obama; Biden; and the rest of the Democrat/Libs/Lefties who are in control of our Country - who all send their children to private schools? What a slap in the face! (Hey; Jesse Jackson sent his kids to 'private'.)
(And per 'control'- if only because the now 'empowered' Left do not - or rather 'care not' - what representative power means. . .
Yes; how IS that public school working out for you - particularly since Obama took school choice vouchers away? (The Gov. and it's Unions, HATE 'school choice'; personal empowerment and most of all 'options' per YOUR choice.) NO options! Get it?
It is not the Socialist - communist - way; save for the rule makers, that is.

Your children and grandchildren might get mediocre educations in the meantime, but it will be worth it, for the eventual common good.If the present situation is that the public school system sucks, who the hell does some Slate columnist think he is, to tell me I have to sacrifice my children's good for the "common good" of someone generations in the future? Screw you, clown.

Maybe her article is so poorly thought out because she went to a bad public school.
